Rest Day 1 (Steve)

No fly day today due to stink weather. The Open Class were actually tasked and launched but were all back on the ground within 20 mins.

For some great photos of the comp check out the below website link:

Went for lunch today in a local village called Smigiel 20km north of Leszno. Not sure what the translation is but a local shop made for an irresistible photo opportunity.

Tonight was International Night in the hangar. Every team had a table on which they provide a taste of their home country food and drink wise. It seems most European countries have a favourite food that requires a drink that is at least 50% alcohol to wash it down. Things got interesting when the drunken mob decided to lift Sebastian Kawa's glider above their heads to much cheering and flag waving.

The girls did a great a job of preparing a dessert that included slices of NZ kiwi fruit that they found in the local Tesco.

Except for John who was off fraternizing with the enemy we almost got a photo of the whole team. Tom Claffey from Australia however did a great job of standing in with an expert piece of photo bombing.
